That is because we are on collision course with something big. The big extinctions in earth history were just an effect of that recurring threat.
Only few will survive to build a new earth far away from here.

didn't planet x actually get confirmed?

They are only now starting to spot planets further away than pluto ...
... but still orbitting our star.

I wouldn't say 'confirmed' but there's pretty convincing evidence.

Building a cloud city on Venus makes more sense then moving to a red dwarf in a Generation Ship.

It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.

I have been saying that for years, but they'd rather get excited over bullshit spoon-fed by the pathetic excuse for a "media" that's all hype and no facts.

So, what's the max speed of our spaceships these days?
How long would it take to get to the nearest star 4 ly away?

with speed of light at 300 000 km/s...
10% would be 30k km/s... sounds too much for spaceship to reach
1% is 3k km/s... still sounds unlikely
0.1%... 300 km/s... I guess that sounds doable

But at that speed, it would take 4000 years to reach next star.

0.1% is the least ridiculous figure and it's still so much faster than anything humans have put into space thus far. During its slingshot maneuver around Earth, the Juno probe reached only 38.9 km/s.

The real problem with anything that isn't a probe is slowing down again. New Horizons blasted straight by Pluto because taking the fuel to slow down enough to enter orbit and study it would have been prohibitively expensive.

Space is hard.

So, in the range of 0.01% of light speed. That would put the travel to 40k years. We better start making those immortality potions. P

Three and a half months of working from dusk till dawn is starting to get to me. Best part? There's still a whole month left with a grand total of one day off for the duration remaining. Can't wait to return to space. Space! Spaaaceeeee!

Holy **** Kate. Closing in on 500K.

Where's Rain. We need a campaign...

Also Rain, why you make a new Corp and not go back to Team Evil?

Timezone o7

We are colonizing new planet. For now only in imagination, but who knows, maybe we will live long enough to see a human foot stomping the life out of other terrestial planet. Cool

Welcome back, Scip! :)

Rain has a new plan, I think...
